BurnleyRegular at right-back
Walker continues as Burnley's lead right-back, starting in all 29 appearances.
Analysis: Walker is still the club's normal starter at right-back in his first campaign with the club, having yet to miss a start when appearing. He has earned two assists as he provides help on both ends of the field, even earning a few starts at right midfielder. He does on;y have four clean sheets on the season, although that can mostly be blamed on not the best team form.
Assists in Saturday's draw
Walker assisted once to go with three crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Walker recorded his second assist of the season Saturday as he set up Axel Tuanzebe's goal in the 45th minute which tied the match just before halftime. He set season highs in chances created (three), crosses (three) and accurate crosses (two). He contributed on the defensive end as well, recording four clearances and two interceptions in his full 90 minutes of action.
Clears suspension
Walker is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.
Analysis: Walker has served his suspension due to yellow cards accumulation in the Premier League and is set to return in the next contest. The right-back has been an undisputed starter in defense for the Clarets and hasn't missed any minute prior to his suspension. He will therefore claim back his role against Bournemouth on Saturday.
Set for suspension
Walker will serve one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the Premier League.
Analysis: Walker accumulated five yellow cards in the Premier League and will be suspended for the clash against Fulham on Saturday. His absence will impact the starting squad since he has been an undisputed starter at right-back for the Clarets, with Oliver Sonne as the most likely option to replace him against the Cottagers. Walker will be back available for the clash against Bournemouth on Dec. 20.
Assists from cross in win
Walker assisted once to go with one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 victory versus Leeds United.
Analysis: Walkers's pinpoint cross from the right flank assisted Burnley's first goal of their 2-0 defeat of Leeds. The cross was the lone attempted cross of the appearance for Walker who also contributed four interceptions and seven clearances to the team's clean sheet effort throughout his 90 minutes of play. Walker has played every minute in Burnley's first eight Premier League fixtures.
Starter in new home
Walker has started in all three games this season while recording one clean sheet.
Analysis: Walker made the move to Burnley this season after his long tenure with Manchester City and has been an instant starter for them on the right side of the defense. He hasn't been able to move forward as much as he did with City, but still has seen some solid defensive production with two interceptions, four tackles and 13 clearances to go along with a clean sheet. He should maintain this role moving forward, an important piece of the team if they want to remain in the Premier League.
